Flying over the bubble era

Chapter 1521. Fruit Ripening

After arriving in Tokyo, Zhang Zi was very enthusiastic about shopping, as if it was really as she said, visiting her daughter was secondary, and being able to go shopping in Tokyo was the real thing.

Ayumi Hamasaki couldn't help but admit defeat in front of her mother's enthusiasm.

Zhang Zi also said clearly: "Ayu can see the scenery of Tokyo as many times as she wants."

When these two people walk down the street, they look more like close friends than mother and daughter. This is Zhang Zi's credit. The innocent Zhang Zi does not look like a mother. On the other hand, it is precisely because she is not like a traditional mother that she is able to retain this innocence.

"After coming to Tokyo, Ayu-chan has become more beautiful than before, but she also talks less." Zhang Zi discovered that her daughter had become a real young girl.

"Shouldn't Mommy say 'I miss you so much'?"

Zhang Zi laughed heartily, "If I didn't miss you, I wouldn't want to come to Tokyo so much." So, the enthusiasm of rushing to go shopping in Tokyo was caused by missing his daughter.

This is another aspect of Zhang Zi’s innocence.

A wonderful mother and daughter, a wonderful family of women. This thought came to Ayumi Hamasaki's mind. She then thought that Akina-san would also become a mother.

Ever since she learned that Akina Nakamori was pregnant, Ayumi Hamasaki has thought about this incident from time to time.

Akiko certainly loves her daughter, but sometimes she doesn't seem like a mother. So what kind of mother will Akina-san be?

The flip side of this question is actually: What kind of father would Iwahashi-san be?

Once Ayumi Hamasaki began to wonder what kind of father Shinichi Iwahashi would be, her deep-seated image of Shinichi Iwahashi as a father began to crumble.

Since Shinichi Iwahashi is the father of an unborn baby, he is not the father she imagined.

He is not a father who exists in imagination, he will become a real father. When she first arrived at the Iwahashi family, she saw the harmonious life between the couple and took everything for granted, so much so that Ayumi Hamasaki forgot that a new life would be born between the couple.

After learning that Akina Nakamori was pregnant, the shock that Ayumi Hamasaki felt and the worries she had these days all came from this. Shinichi Iwahashi, who was about to become a real father, could not bear the imagination of a young girl about her father.

Her mother Shoko's trip to Tokyo brought Ayumi Hamasaki the answer to her question.

"Mother."

"what?"

"……nothing."

Ayumi Hamasaki couldn't even tell her mother.

"Okay." Zhang Zi didn't force it.

She started to make a joke to herself, "Ayu-chan has reached the age where she wants to say something but is hesitant." Zhang Zi felt relieved that her daughter had quietly become a young girl.

As a mother, Zhang Zi was completely unaware of the changes taking place in her daughter's heart.

……

Ayumi Hamasaki did not return to Fukuoka during the summer vacation. During this vacation, she followed Shinichi Iwahashi to the recording studio every now and then, sometimes to participate in the audition, and sometimes just to follow behind him as a little tail.

She had been a fierce rebellious woman in the past, but now she was obedient and obedient. Although Iwahashi Shinichi felt that it was mostly just on the surface.

"A singer without his own style cannot become a first-rate singer. A singer who looks gentle often has a strong style. But on the other hand, a singer with a strong style must have some gentle ideas." Iwahashi Shinichi sometimes told her about singer production. Ayumi Hamasaki only understood half of what she heard, but what she understood most clearly was that Iwahashi Shinichi liked singers with personality.

However, one day, she watched ZARD's recording session up close and after seeing Sachiko Kamachi's performance in the recording, she began to understand a little bit what Shinichi Iwahashi was talking about.

When Ayumi Hamasaki was still in Fukuoka, ZARD was already a super popular band. But at that time, Ayumi Hamasaki only listened to the band's records or sang the band's songs on demand in karaoke. The famous band was just a vague shadow in her heart.

The first time I met Sachiko Kamachi in Shinichi Iwahashi's office, we just passed each other. I only remember that she was an unforgettable beauty who looked like the sister next door.

However, the beauty of Sachiko Kamachi that she saw when she passed by her was not as shocking to Ayumi Hamasaki as now, when she witnessed Sachiko Kamachi's professionalism, uncompromising toughness in the recording studio.

Following Iwahashi Shinichi into the world behind the scenes, I saw a variety of strong personalities. The world of singers can accommodate these personalities.

But Shinichi Iwahashi, surrounded by so many strong personalities, remains unmoved.

Ayumi Hamasaki even felt that the president was terrible in this regard.

In the evening, Iwahashi Shinichi left the recording studio with this little tail. In the car, Ayumi Hamasaki stared at Iwahashi Shinichi until he asked, "What's wrong?"

The girl didn't want to initiate the conversation, so she used this clumsy trick. Once she had the chance, she immediately followed up with, "So Iwahashi-san is such a tough guy."

"What?" Iwahashi Shinichi raised his eyebrows.

Ayumi Hamasaki realized this and for some reason became cheerful and said to him, "You may not be able to be my producer."

She made reckless assumptions.

But what Iwahashi Shinichi heard was: "You mean, you want to be a singer?"

Ayumi Hamasaki closed her mouth and refused to answer the question. Shinichi Iwahashi was amused by her behavior and said to her: "When you can become a singer, you will know who can be your producer."

"Have you already thought of a candidate?"

Shinichi Iwahashi shook his head, "It depends on you." It depends on this girl, what this blank piece of paper, on which she drew the first stroke, will become when the time is right.

Ayumi Hamasaki didn't get an answer and pouted.

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and suddenly said to her, "It seems that Akina-san has never heard you sing."

The girl raised her eyelids, her eyes sparkling.

Staring at him with these eyes, Shinichi Iwahashi realized that this child he had brought from Fukuoka had already become a little more adult. This stubborn girl with a strong personality was naturally charming.

This child has never really been the daughter of her father. Just as the impression of a father comes from imagination, the idea of ​​how to be a father's daughter is also just imagination.

She seems to be pursuing her father's figure, but in fact she doesn't know how to be a daughter at all. Therefore, her emotions are inappropriate, sometimes full of attachment, sometimes sarcastic, and she looks like an adolescent girl who secretly loves an adult man.

When Shinichi Iwahashi talked about Ayumi Hamasaki to Akina Nakamori, he said that this child was a little woman who grew up in a woman's home. Since he realized this, he would not fail to notice the subtle psychology of the girl. Pretending not to realize this is not his style.

"Aren't you going to sing for Akina-san?"

Shinichi Iwahashi's tone sounded very kind, and Ayumi Hamasaki felt that he was handing her a tempting fruit.
